The poem is so strong and has so much powerful meaning. Every time I hear it it draws so many emotional responses. Especially the two parts about the man who has no love and the senior citizen wishing they were young again. The song itself is so interesting and the poem just expands the song.

[@PaganWizard]

Thank you for sharing the ENTIRE song. Often times, "Late Lament" is faded out, and left unheard. That would be comparable to playing Queen's "We Will Rock You" and leaving out "We Are The Champions".

[@Inflec]

And just as importantly, using the _superior_ original mix from 1967 instead of that terrible remix that was put together for the CD.

[@suzannemyson5326]

Agreed

[@deborahklinlger8565]

Yes it is a masterpiece. I don't believe we truly understand this concept until we are older adults. In 1964 I was all of 7 years old.love Justin Hayward. The Moody Blues defined a period of childhood to teenager for myself & young adult. Each of their songs brings me back to a memory of what life was like for me then as I listen. Music does create memories some happy some painful.. The Beatles. Led Zeppelin & the Moody Blues are the 3 bands that shaped my musical history & ❤️ loves in my life. Today I rediscovered Forever Autumn, had forgotten how that song moved me. 😢 WPST was the radio station in NJ that played that song every fall for years, only station to play it that I know of. I just worked a music muscle 💪. Amazing. I hadn't thought of that song for years! Ty.

@@diniathome7930 I heard it on the radio with the poem 3 days ago. It's still not rare. It's one of their best known songs.

[@danielstewart7163]

It's rare due to it's composition, the message from within the song. The quality of the artists who performed it, sound quality. The emotions provoked by the words. If you listen to this in a room with either good headphones or a high quality component stereo and really listen to it, especially if it has backwards Lament with it it can set your mind free and allow you to be who you want or where you want. It's close to some of what has been coined as psychedelic music of the Pink Floyd variety. It's just a slower, softer version. Personally even though Backwards Lament is a separate song i prefer to hear them together, they compliment each other rather well. Yes I'm an old hippie and remember when this song was released. I like it more now than in the 60's when it was broadcast on AM radio back then. But who wouldn't AM sucks. It a mono broadcast and leaves much of the sound to the imagination.

When I was growing up, I would sit up late at night, listening to music. When this song would come on the radio, I would pray and hope that they played the complete version, complete with "Late Lament". I always felt cheated when the station played the radio edit - that cut out my favorite part.
